The recently launched networks BIU.Dev & BIU.Net are directed towards small- and mid-sized developers as well as all other market participants with the goal of creating a German-wide network of exchange and support for the games industry. At the Quo Vadis conference the networks present a special track following a red line covering the most important aspects on your way „from the idea to an international bestseller game“. For this track BIU.Dev & BIU.Net are proud to present a selection of the best and most renown developers in Germany.
